Hey Fellas, well I thought this one looked like it would be a good place to start so I bought myself a Sharp GF-9494.
I got it off Ebay and as I expected the description was entirely accurate- VU meters are non operational, one tweeter is gone and the right woofer distorts when the unit is cranked.
I was expecting to be an overhaul includig new speakers so really I can live with the problems and will most likely have new speakers and repairs done by the weekend.
The best part is that this unit will run audio through the ext mic input down to 12V without the audio horribly distorting. So this weekend- Easter, I can take this sucker out to the bush and run it off a solar power charged 12v batter!
Its my wifes birthday so Im madly downloading all her favourite tunes and gonna stick em on an ipod. Ive got a Bluetooth audio reciever on order which should show up in a couple of days so fingers crossed this ghetto blaster is really gonna help the party.
I gotta say, I picked this unit up and rushed to get home. Frantically I ripped off the cardboard box and bubble wrap and the first throught I had when I powered it up and play some music was OMG "Im In Love.......................With The Other Woman!" The retro blaster sound transported me staright to the 80's when I was a teenager and Ray Parker Junior was cranking out number one hits.
My teenage sons were like- "WTF you are so lame" when I showed them my pimpin old school Ghetto Blaster.
Now I know why you guys are into these machines- they are actually time machines which can transport you back to the 80's which is great if you are middle aged and balding like me.
Anyhow its time to get back to reality. I couldnt help but share.
